About Bay Photonics:
Founded in 2007, Bay Photonics specialises in designing, manufacturing and packaging semiconductor photonic devices. Based in the purpose-built EPIC facility in Paignton, UK, we have our state of the art cleanrooms and labs housing a broad range of photonic assembly equipment covering manual and auto die bonding & wire bonding, optical alignment and hermetic sealing.
Experienced in design and assembly, we offer a range of packages from plastics and ceramic leadless, to hermetic butterfly and TO cans.
Their Mission:
To empower the future of semiconductor photonics with agile, robust, precision-engineered packaging solutions that take your technologies from concept to production. We enable innovators to bring breakthrough technologies in Quantum, AI, and sensing to life.
Services:
- Design Development – Full in-house design and simulation: optical, RF, mechanical, thermal and environmental. PIC design guidance, rapid prototype, and design for volume manufacture.
- Key Services – We cover the full Lifecyle of any project: design, die handling, pick, place, die and wire bonding, fibre alignment and high reliability hermetic sealing.
- Hybrid Co-packaging – Micro, bulk, and fibre optics integrated with ceramics, high-speed electronics, and TECs.
- Comprehensive Testing – Bond, shear, push, leak and environmental. Optical and electronic testing, automated device characterisation and vision measuring systems.
- Experienced Team – Our highly-skilled engineers have decades of packaging knowledge, ensuring robust, compliant and ready to market solutions.
- Customer Value – A smooth handover from design to test, there’s no need for multiple suppliers – enabling faster time to market and reduced developmental risk.
